Different from the previous nitrogenous groups, we present a new strategy of improving the ionic liquids (ILs) energy capacity by introducing the strained carbocycles. The ILs with three- and/or four-member carbocycles were prepared, and their physicochemical properties as rocket fuels were...

The use of alternative fuels on marine engine is a major measure to achieve carbon neutrality for shipping industry. In order to evaluate the economics of alternative fuels and promote its use, a new theoretical engine cycle, Miller-Sabathe cycle (MSC), was proposed to identify the upper limit...

This note analyzes the asymptotic distribution for instrumental variables regression for panel data when the available instruments are weak. We show that consistency can be established in panel data.

As intermittent renewable energy is receiving increasing attention, the combination of intermittent renewable energy with large-scale energy storage technology is considered as an important technological approach for the wider application of wind power and solar energy. Pumped hydro combined...

This paper studies test of hypotheses for the slope parameter in a linear time trend panel data model with serially correlated error component disturbances. We propose a test statistic that uses a bias corrected estimator of the serial correlation parameter. The proposed test statistic which is...
